8398 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 30 / Wednesday, February 13, 2008 / Notices 

forth above is amended to read that the 

grants are for ‘‘* * * capital 

improvements, and related 

infrastructure improvements at qualified 

shipyards that will facilitate the 

efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and 

quality of domestic ship construction, 

ship conversion and/or ship repair for 

commercial and Federal Government 

use.’’ Item No. 4 is amended in 

pertinent part to request information 

concerning how the project ‘‘* * * will 

facilitate the efficiency, costeffectiveness, and quality of domestic 

ship construction, ship conversion, and/ 

or ship repair for commercial and 

Federal Government use.’’

Because many small shipyards do not 

have audited financial statements, Item 

No. 7 is amended to add at the end the 

following sentence: ‘‘If audited financial 

statements are not available, compiled 

financial statements by an independent 

Certified Public Accountant should be 

submitted.’’

[Docket No. MARAD–2008–0007] 

Requested Administrative Waiver of 

the Coastwise Trade Laws 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Invitation for public comments 

on a requested administrative waiver of 

the Coastwise Trade Laws for the vessel 

HEAVEN CAN WAIT. 

SUMMARY: As authorized by Public Law 

105–383 and Public Law 107–295, the 

Secretary of Transportation, as 

represented by the Maritime 

Administration (MARAD), is authorized 

to grant waivers of the U.S.-build 

requirement of the coastwise laws under 

certain circumstances. A request for 

such a waiver has been received by 

MARAD. The vessel, and a brief 

description of the proposed service, is 

listed below. The complete application 

is given in DOT docket MARAD–2008–

0007 at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Interested parties may comment on the 

effect this action may have on U.S. 

vessel builders or businesses in the U.S. 

that use U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD 

determines, in accordance with Public 

Law 105–383 and MARAD’s regulations 

at 46 CFR part 388 (68 FR 23084; April 

30, 2003), that the issuance of the 

waiver will have an unduly adverse 

effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or a 

business that uses U.S.-flag vessels in 

that business, a waiver will not be 

granted. Comments should refer to the 

docket number of this notice and the 

vessel name in order for MARAD to 

properly consider the comments. 

Comments should also state the 

commenter’s interest in the waiver 

application, and address the waiver 

criteria given in § 388.4 of MARAD’s 

regulations at 46 CFR part 388.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Complete copies of each request for 

collection of information may be 

obtained at no charge from Markus 

Price, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., W43–472 NVS–121, 

Washington, DC 20590. Mr. Markus 

Price’s telephone number is (202) 366–

0098. Please identify the relevant 

collection of information by referring to 

its OMB Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval, it must first publish a 

document in the Federal Register 

providing a 60-day comment period and 

otherwise consult with members of the 

public and affected agencies concerning 

each proposed collection of information. 

The OMB has promulgated regulations 

describing what must be included in 

such a document. Under OMB’s 

regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an 

agency must ask for public comment on 

the following: 

(i) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(ii) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(iii) how to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(iv) how to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g. permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

In compliance with these requirements, 

NHTSA asks for public comments on 

the following proposed collections of 

information: 

Title: Compliance Labeling of 

Retroreflective Materials Heavy Trailer 

Conspicuity. 

OMB Number: 2127–0569. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations. 

Abstract: Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard No. 108, ‘‘Lamps, 

Reflective Devices, and Associated 

Equipment,’’ specifies requirements for 

vehicle lighting for the purposes of 

reducing traffic accidents and their 

tragic results by providing adequate 

roadway illumination, improved vehicle 

conspicuity, appropriate information 

transmission through signal lamps, in 

day, night, and other conditions of 

reduced visibility. For certifications and 

identification purposes, the Standard 

requires the permanent marking of the 

letters DOT–C2, DOT–C3, or DOT–C4 at 

least 3 mm high at regular intervals on 

retroreflective sheeting material having 

adequate performance to provide 

effective trailer conspicuity. 

The manufacturers of new tractors 

and trailers are required to certify that 

their products are equipped with 

retroreflective material complying with 

the requirements of the standard. The 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) Office of Motor Carrier Safety 

enforces this and other standards 

through roadside inspections of trucks. 

There is no practical field test for the 

performance requirements, and labeling 

is the only objective way of 

distinguishing trailer conspicuity grade 

material from lower performance 

material. Without labeling, FHWA will 

not be able to enforce the performance 

requirements of the standard and the 

compliance testing of new tractors and 

trailers will be complicated. Labeling is 

also important to small trailer 

manufacturers because it may help them 

to certify compliance. Because wider 

stripes or material of lower brightness 

also can provide the minimum safety 

performance, the marking system serves 

the additional role of identifying the 

minimum stripe width required for 

retroreflective brightness of the 

particular material. Since the 

differences between the brightness 

grades of suitable retroreflective 

conspicuity material is not obvious from 

inspection, the marking system is 

necessary for tractor and trailer 

manufacturers and repair shops to 

assure compliance and for FHWA to 

inspect tractors and trailers in use. 

Permanent labeling is used to identify 

retroreflective material having the 

minimum properties required for 

effective conspicuity of trailers at night. 

The information enables the FHWA to 

make compliance inspections, and it 

aids tractor and trailer owners and 

repairs shops in choosing the correct 

repair materials for damaged tractors 

and trailers. It also aids smaller trailer 

manufacturers in certifying compliance 

of their products. 

The FHWA will not be able to 

determine whether trailers are properly 

equipped during roadside inspections 

without labeling. The use of cheaper 

and more common reflective materials, 

which are ineffective for the 

application, would be expected in 

repairs without the labeling 

requirement.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
